Sow, you get what you reaper? Guess I can get down wit that idea. But finnegan, if I stick my head in these threads to often, it may get cremated. Casualties passing by are commonly just so much roadkill in here. You've got to spend quite a bit of time to urn your casket in hearse.

Hi friends! Just back from a run to the CORONER store. I don't drive much so I go a little lost... seems I should have turned left on a couple of those LAST RITES. Anyway, what a creepy topic for Friday night pun war! Do you think we can pun until MOURNING?

I'm dead sure this topic will work, although it may be tomb-uch for some deadbeats. Of corpse, if somebody else has a better idea, we could give it a try. We could even bring an old topic back from the dead. I know, I know, some of you are dead set against it, but it wouldn't kill you to try, would it? No need to blow a casket over a little suggestion.

Good GRIEF! Nearly an hour and no contenders? Have you all GIVEN UP THE GHOST already? Perhaps all of you are spending FRYday evening watching the LIFESPAN channel on tv...

Well, Eric just ordered some Thai food from a yummy little place that is just TO DIE FOR, so soon I will have to DEPART for dinner. Instead of Thai delivery, I though about making curry myself, but coconut milk is so PERISHable and the can in my pantry was past the EXPIRATION date.

Nevertheless please REST assured that when I return I'm GONNER BURY you all in puns. There will be no ETERNAL REST for the wicked tonight! And after I am FINISHED with all of you, I will not be SORRY FOR YOUR LOSS!!!

Well Angel-a, while your consumptin' that final meal, I think I'll listen to a bit of Grateful Dead to thai-d me over. And maybe a little bit of Meatball praying for the the end of time to hurry up and arrive to go along with that one. I don't think I'd dare to rapture punning. You've obviously seen many days and have many life-long experiences that help you pun no matter what the conditions. It would indeed be a very grave thing if you ever reach a dead-end in your punning. I don't think I could ever picture a day of the dead dawning with a lack of puns in your casket of tricks. So I think I'll just have to go dig a hole to go crawl into and see if anything grows out of the depths.

Mumpsie, thank goodness you are here to pun with us on this warm and EMBALMY evening! It MORTIFIES me to report that I have looked high and low, over and UNDER... TAKERS for this thread this evening are NOT AMONGST THE LIVING!!!

It wounds me to see such a pall over this thread. One would think the living would be dying to get in here. Is it time to start playing some excerpts from Vangelis? Heaven & Hell for example? Maybe I'll pull out my favorite group and listen to the soundtrack from Near Dark. :-)

Hmm. Seems I've taken a bit of a musical tack on this dirge. Could it be maybe a death knell for the thread? Maybe it needs to be put out of it's misery with a swift shot of compassion.

Watch out for that Jim Sotherden, Mumpsie! He claims he doesn't need to win, but whether he resides in California, Wisconsin or New York he is LYING IN STATE about his desire to win. Yes, like a ROTTEN black WIDOW spider, his inTERMINAL bad punning will bite you hard in an unseemly place, like the TESTATEcles!
